From 5bfa2a17f2b79eb6a63c5d47ce89d5798bba086a Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Sriram Date: Thu, 12 Nov 2009 01:55:42 +0000 Subject: TI Davinci EMAC : Fix Console Hang when bringing the interface down In the NAPI poll function(emac_poll), check for netif_running() is unnecassary. In addition to associated runtime overhead, it also results in a continuous softirq loop when the interface is brought down under heavy traffic(tested wit Traffic Generator). Once the interface is disabled, the poll function always returns zero(with the check for netif_running) and napi_complete() would never get called resulting in softirq loop.
